Nicklas and his friend Tyler were treated to see Pinocchio – a travelling youth company play – on Saturday the 30th. Afterwards, Tyler came to our house for dinner and to spend the night. A great time was had by all!

Brenna attended her first hockey game January 16th. Knoxville lost to Pensacola 5-4. Watch for photos from the game to appear soon in the Photo Gallery.

Brenna got her second Imagination Library book: “The House That Jack Built” on the 13th…and promptly had Mimi read it to her!

Nicklas got his third six week report card just after returning from the holiday break. He is still doing quite well!

Nicklas wants it to ‘be summer’ so he can ride his skateboard.

Nicklas and his pack will be working the remainder of this year on advancement and preparing for the spring campout. The square knot and taut-line hitch are the first knots the pack is working on in preparation for this campout.

Loudon got an inch of snow the first week of January. Loudon County closed the schools early one day and the entire next day. Brenna wanted to make a snowman out in the snow but without enough snow she settled to go outside and play in the snow with her brother.
